Song He originally thought that with the divine equipment bestowed by Teacher Xiang, searching for new brainwaves would be easy.

But as it turned out, he was too optimistic.

From 6:30 in the morning to 6:30 in the afternoon, Song He's team of dozens of people worked diligently for twelve hours, racking their brains to analyze brainwave data, their eyes almost going blind from staring at the computer screens, yet they found no clues.

Simply put, the amount of brainwave data was too large and too chaotic!

In the same amount of time, the brainwave data provided by the Artificial Brain Worm was more than eight times higher than that provided by the old-fashioned electrode method!

A small portion of the extra data was more subtle brainwave trends, but the majority was unknown noise!

Massive amounts of noise emerged on the screen like boiling water bubbling, densely packed and undulating without any rules!

Lu Chengen, the oldest member of the team, said it looked like the static on an old TV. The other younger team members hadn't seen old TVs, but they roughly understood what he meant—the noise was as heavy as falling snow!

The most difficult thing was that Song He now wanted to find unknown brainwaves, which could be in various forms. How could he distinguish them from the noise? Who knew which were noise and which were new brainwaves?

Helpless, he had to take a picture of the data and send it to Teacher Xiang.

"Teacher, is this noise normal? Is it noise from the Artificial Brain Worm itself, or noise from the brain?"

After waiting for a moment, a reply came.

Xiang Xiaotong: "I don't know."

Song He was dumbfounded. "You don't know? Isn't this something your team uses?"

Xiang Xiaotong: "When we used the Artificial Brain Worm, we also had this situation of noise filling the screen. In the end, we used a program to filter out the noise, but after filtering, only the known brainwaves remained. If you want to find unknown new brainwaves, you can only find a way to distinguish the patterns of the new brainwaves from the noise."

Xiang Xiaotong: "We don't know where the noise comes from. We've done many troubleshooting attempts, but none have worked. It may be a problem with the Artificial Brain Worm itself, it may be interference from the environment, it may be that the Artificial Brain Worm recorded some shallow, instantaneous waves from various parts of the brain, or it may be unknown new brainwaves. Figure it out yourself."

Song He: "Okay, thank you, Teacher! I wish your new product launch tonight a resounding success!"

Xiang Xiaotong: "I appreciate your kind words!"

Closing his phone, he sighed in dismay.

It seemed he couldn't blindly rely on high technology. The Artificial Brain Worm was actually a semi-finished product?!

"Another monkey died!" Fan Tao exclaimed.

In the surgical area, six monkeys were simultaneously undergoing scans by the Artificial Brain Worm, with data continuously displayed on dozens of computers.

At this moment, one monkey had died, and the Brain Electrical Wave data on many computers went silent, like the surface of a lake after a heavy rain, with no new raindrops stirring up splashes, only ripples that had not yet dissipated.

In the distance, several spare monkeys were confined in transparent plastic boxes. Seeing their companion die, they shrank into the corners of the boxes in terror, sensing that a great disaster might befall them.

"Cremate it!" Lou Jinghui shouted.

Immediately, many people gathered around, preparing to dispose of the body.

Song He glanced at the screen, gazing at the gradually diminishing ripples, and suddenly thought of something.

"Stop!" Song He shouted. "Don't dispose of the body yet! Continue to watch the Post-mortem Monkey Brain wave data!"

Several hands had already grabbed the dead monkey, but they immediately released it upon hearing this.

Everyone instantly understood what he meant and rushed to the computers, pulling up the dead monkey's Brainwave Data.

About a minute ago, the dead monkey's brainwaves showed severe Gamma Oscillation, most likely during the final moments of its life. The monkey was recalling its short life. Although the external time was short, in the monkey's consciousness, this memory would be stretched out.

Song He stared at the screen, lost in thought. What were the monkey's dying memories?

Beautiful female monkeys and male monkeys? Remembering the most delicious apple? Being taken out of the Monkey Garden and catching a glimpse of the streets of Ruoqiang Base?

Then, the oscillation disappeared, and the Brain Electrical Wave went cold and silent, officially dead!

From the three-dimensional image on the left, the entire brain had cooled down, and brainwave activity plummeted. However, after a few minutes, individual brain regions were still occasionally twitching, producing a faint, illusion-like brain activity.

The entire monkey brain was like an extinguished fire. Although the flames were gone, it was still smoldering, and even if you stirred the ashes, there were still a few embers faintly visible inside!

The noise was still there, but it was significantly reduced.

After waiting for a full hour, there was still brainwave activity, occasionally popping up on the screen.

"Tao! Go stimulate the monkey!" Song He shouted.

"How do I stimulate it?" Fan Tao asked from afar.

"Hand touching, knife stabbing, lighter burning are all fine!" Song He said, "Stim
